Fig. 3. Neuronal patterning is affected in pac mutants. (A-D) Two dpf wild-type (A), pacrw95 (B), pacrw95/fr7 (C) and pacfr7 (D) retinae labeled with zn5 antibody (red), which stains axons and cytoplasm of RGCs. Nuclei of retinal cells are counter-stained green with Sytox Green Nucleic Acid Stain. RGCs differentiate in all mutants (white arrowheads) but their localization is progressively more disrupted in pacrw95, pacrw95/fr7 and pacfr7 eyes. (E-H) Four dpf wild-type (E), pacrw95 (F), pacrw95/fr7 (G) and pacfr7 (H) retinae labeled with anti-Pax6 antibody, which stains amacrine cells (red). (I-L) Four dpf wild-type (I), pacrw95 (J), pacrw95/fr7 (K) and pacfr7 (L) retinae labeled with zpr-1 antibody, which stains double-cone photoreceptors (red). In pacrw95, the photoreceptor cell layer is normal. In pacrw95/fr7, the photoreceptor cell layer is locally disrupted and in the pacfr7 retina, zpr-1-positive photoreceptors do not form an outer layer, but instead are located sparsely near the scleral region of the eye (white arrowheads). a, amacrine cell layer; pl, photoreceptor layer; rgl, retinal ganglion cell layer.
